Actress-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, on Thursday morning,bas she shared a rare picture from her childhood days featuring her late mother Kiran Bhatt and younger brother Rahul Bhatt.

The heartfelt throwback picture shared by Pooja on her social media account, featured a young Pooja sitting beside her mother Kiran Bhatt, while little Rahul Bhatt is seen resting comfortably in Kiran's arms.
